bleagh

Need to write more nanowrimo. Am currently listening to a Radio 1 doc on goths, narrated by Tony Head. Most amusing. I know goths better than most. Personally (apologising to most goths I know) - I'm sorry, but this is really what I think - they're sad.

Goth is a case of teen angst that people take up as a uniform when they rebel against the status quo. I hear them going on about 'We want to think for ourselves, blah de blah'. Bull. Shit. You all end up looking exactly the same and listening to the same music. You go from rejecting the cookie-cutter clone of perky and high street to embracing the cookie cutter clone of black lace, spikes, rubber and velvet.

And don't even get me started on the poetry, music, or Anne Rice.

squueeeeeeeee!

http://www.empireonline.co.uk/features/events/harrypotter2/gallery.asp - pictures from premiere, plus links to the report, etc. I think I need to drool over Tom Felton, I really do.... not to mention squee-ing over the fantabulous casting decisions for Moaning Myrtle (Shirley Henderson), Arthur Weasley (Mark Williams of the Fast Show and Shakespeare in Love), and Gemma Jones as Poppy Pomfrey. Go away. I'm having palpitations. Why, why, why didn't they have a pic of the bloke who plays Tom Riddle?

today

had training at Virgin, plus acquired snazzy new red shirt that is uniform. Also saw The Tempest in Guildford. First few scenes had me yawning, like last time - and may I say that the storm scene is much more effective when you're in an open-air theatre with the rain coming down and the wind blowing? At least then you've got an excuse for not hearing the words properly.

The fools were fucking hysterical, and I've decided I want to take Caliban home and adopt him. I've always been on Caliban's side. So fucking what he's an arsehole and misguided; he was here first! (insert Eddie Izzard : Do you have a flag? No flag, no country, it's in the rules.) Ben Silverstone as Ariel. All ethereal and shit, but christ, he's grown up. Face has changed since he was in Get Real. And so not straight. :g: Especially after that 'Master, do you love me?' line. The only problem? After it finished I couldn't get the epilogue from A Midsummer Night's Dream out of my head.

If we shadows have offended
Think but this and all is mended :
That you have but slumbered here
While we spirits did appear

There! Perfect Fanfiction apologia!

:cough: 006. mmmm.

I had to do it. You know I had to do it.

What kind of Bean addict are you?





Now there's a surprise. Not. dolores, stop bloody sniggering in the background. It's bad for your health. Because I'll set Alec Trevelyan on you and you'll die from mutliple orgasms without even getting *near* Vronsky. Personally, will quite happily take Sean Bean in any role, especially dirty and bleeding Sean Bean, but something about suave bastards with a side order of evil really flicks my switch. Plus the 'taste' question is so skewed. What self-respecting Bean luster wouldn't get him to say 'strawberries' again?

See the icon. Love the icon.
